Fancy cheese is the indicator of food stability, isn’t it? I haven’t been poor or gone hungry in so long, yet sometimes I just have to splurge on fancy cheese because I can.

It does fuck you up.  Neither I or my sister can sleep unless there is food in. When we travel we bring food to keep in the hotel room or bedroom of the home we’re staying in.

I swear I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I didn’t “earn my age” until I was past 40. I drove cheap cars and rented crappy apartments and my idea of a vacation was a couple of days at the Jersey Shore. But I never once gave a second thought to what I spent at the grocery store. I bought whatever I wanted and…

Yes to all of this. The gatekeeping of food overall is a huge thing. I feel like this is a subject that is tough for people to relate to if they haven’t experienced it but really fucks with those of us who have.

My guess is to build the case that Tim Sweeney understands comparisons and recognizes the items being questioned. It applies in this case because Sweeney was asked if he was aware of how much money his game made on Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo products, and then if he was aware that those store fronts take a 30%…

Because courts are often idiotic. As a former court reporter, I’ve on numerous occasions seen lawyers ask either witnesses or experts identify common day objects to the court “That is a teapot. That is a butcher’s knife. That is a cutting board” .. etc. Very stupid.

Dear Senator McConnell

By now Biden has to know that the GOP’s standard plan of attack is to pretend to want to reach a middle ground, then tangle him up in attempts to appeal to them until they can regain enough power to stop anything he wants dead.

Oh Bethenny. You’re not that interesting. This show is probably going to tank in its first season like her talk show. You got “cancelled” because you told Meghan Markle to suck it up instead of crying to the tabloids when you’ve been crying on reality TV for years. I used to think there was something grounded and…

Is she doing that prune thing with her mouth that the Olsen twins do before every photo?

the irony of the Ever Given registered in Panama is that it would never fit through the Panama Canal

Just to check, I looked up “counting three fingers” on Google images and nothing like this came up. I could be mistaken, and he could have some wrist ailment that forces to do so, but... nah.

You’ll get a shitload of Middle Easterners and Eastern Europeans, every last one of them driving the most clapped-out yet irrepressible Ford Transits, and they will shovel that ship out to the walls in under a week using nothing but bare hands, Red Bull and cousins.

That seems like a really unnatural way to indicate the number 3 with your fingers.

The only thing that’s potentially more frustrating than having no insurance policy is having two. Because neither will pay and you’re stuck holding the bag.

I started down the road of “isn’t there insurance policies for this sort of thing?”

(I would have said “uncontroversial” before this conversation,)

It’s also a fact that correlation and causation are separate issues, and that people who already have problems that limit their ability to exercise “all the time” may be more vulnerable to comorbidities because of those problems.

I like how the passenger gets out and looks down too.  “No, I don’t see a curb, I have no idea what the problem is!”

It’s still shocking to me every time I go to rent a U-Haul how you don’t have to posses a single qualification outside a driver’s license to rent a 26' box truck. Or any of them, really. Just a driver’s license and a sense of adventure. Surprised more stuff like this doesn’t happen.
